Abstract
Knowing the organization of the basal ganglia as well as its topographic and imaging anatomy allows an adequate interpretation of imaging studies. Currently, anatomy can be evaluated through computed tomography and in greater detail with magnetic resonance imaging. These methods frequently used imaging modalities to help lesions location and to establish diagnoses in neuroradiology. In the present article we review the current organization of basal ganglia, their anatomy and the connections between the structures of this system.
